A Worldwide Cost-based Design and Optimization of Tilted Bifacial Solar Farms
M. Tahir Patel, M. Ryyan Khan, Xingshu Sun +1
The steady decrease in the levelized cost of solar energy (LCOE) has made it increasingly cost-competitive against fossil fuels. The cost reduction is supported by a combination of…
Electrical Signatures of Corrosion and Solder Bond Failure in c-Si Solar Cells and Modules
Reza Asadpour, Xingshu Sun, Muhammad. Ashraful Alam
Moisture- and temperature-activated corrosion of metal fingers, mechanical stress induced delamination, and failure of solder bonds rank among the leading failure mechanisms of sol…
In-Situ Self-Monitoring of Real-Time Photovoltaic Degradation Only Using Maximum Power Point: the Suns-Vmp Method
Xingshu Sun, Raghu Vamsi Krishna Chavali, Muhammad Ashraful Alam
The uncertainties associated with technology- and geography-specific degradation rates make it difficult to calculate the levelized cost of energy (LCOE), and thus the economic via…
Some Useful Relations for Analyzing Nanoscale MOSFETs Operating in the Linear Region
Mark Lundstrom, Xingshu Sun
Several equations used to model and characterize the linear region IV characteristics of nanoscale field-effect transistors are derived. The meaning of carrier mobility at the nano…
